Women Among Us: Portraits of Strength

Featuring 37 portraits of accomplished women in the Big Bend area aged 65 or older, Women Among Us is a celebration of what it means to age as a woman, a vastly underrepresented demographic in photography. Over the course of a lifetime, each of the women featured in this portfolio has had an impact on their community through education, activism, or artistic achievement. Supplemented with an accompanying poem, each portrait is a collaboration between photographer, author, and sitter, in which the women’s individuality and personalities shine through. Every woman featured in this series has dedicated themselves to bettering the Big Bend area, and continues to do so to this day.

This exhibit is free and open to the public, with paid parking available in the Call Street parking garage. Museum hours vary, please visit mofa.fsu.edu.
